Shedysworld: Nice! Although I don't see it coming soon to Nigeria, cos what they gain is not small from us.

True that.
The concept is nice and would be most suitable for underprivileged Nations, like Zambia, Togo etc. Not Nigeria?! #GiantOfAfrica smiley

if its ot fast in your area doesn't mean it is not everywhere

if you want to rate Nigerian;s major mobile internet providers judging by speed

1. Etisalat
2. GLO
3. MTN
4. Airtel

i might though be a little be bias in my rating owing to the fact that i person like GLO as some people will say MTN is faster than GLO (i know its close but i will still choose GLO wink )

also this is not just a rating base on my location but collective data from different states, and areas.


also agreed with your rating...

guy are you sure you read the post well?
Re: Facebook Launches Free Internet App In Africa by Nobody: 7:03pm On Aug 03, 2014
Nigeria doesn't deserve this. Why will adults be demanding free meal meant for children? Nairaland has over 1.2 million members and numerous guests, Nigerians on Facebook in 2012 was 6.6 million!
We don big pass Mark Z. 's free internet aid for Africa. let the other countries who need it benefit!
Re: Facebook Launches Free Internet App In Africa by KingAdeOluomo1(m): 7:04pm On Aug 03, 2014
adewasco2k: Facebook has just revealed its first mobile app that will help Africans get online free via its initiative internet.org which was launched last year to help developing countries have access to cheap internet.

The initiative is first releasing its first app in Zambia, the app is currently android base, it gives free access to cool internet base web services totally free.
The app will allow users have access to online web services like:

• Wikipedia
• Google search
• Facebook
• AccuWeather
• Go Zambia Jobs
• Kokoliko
• MAMA (Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action)
• Messenger
• WRAPP (Women’s Rights App) and
• Zambia uReport

Facebook’s boss said in his post that “Right now, only 15% of people in Zambia have access to the internet. Soon, everyone will be able to use the internet for free to find jobs, get help with reproductive health and other aspects of health, and use tools like Facebook to stay connected with the people they love.”

But currently the free internet access will be for only Airtel Africa customers in Zambia.
Nigerians will be waiting patiently for this awesome service.

I think Globacom will be the best company to partner with Facebook on this initiative in Nigeria, what do you guys think?

Why will you be referring to millions of people in a country as lions & baboons? Are Nigerians better than/superior to Zambians? And people like you will be the 1st to shout if white people insult or use derogatory words on nigerians, am sure you are one of the tribal bigots ruining nairaland.

While you lampooned the guy for his opinion, you then went on to stare your own opinion as if it was fact. Otherwise, Who did the data collection, from the comfort of your home or the places you visit?

I travel across the nation frequently and I do have data on all the providers. From my usage, Airtel definitely provides the most stable, consistent and fast internet.

Remember that there are location based differences but overall, Airtel delivers the best experience.
